Howdy! Hey. How's it going everybody? This build is still being tested, so bare with me while I work out the bumps.
Recommended Playstyle:
Works well with a healing focused Moira or Mercy, as this build leans a tad more towards the DPS build side of things. Still allows for major healing potential, it's just not the main goal of this build. Use your [Two-Zu] to shut down DOT abilities and heavy hitters, and shut down flankers and otherwise aggressive enemies with your [Foxy Fireworks] and [Triple Threat] combo. Most importantly, however, stay safe and play smart. You're useless if you're dead, so make sure to keep yourself alive as well!
Your ultimate is not going to be your strongest ability. Use Kitsune Rush as you normally would throughout this entire build. Put it on objectives or set up a team push with it, but don't stress too much about the utility of it. If you want a build that enhances Kitsune Rush, I recommend AP% Clone Kitsune by NeuroSociety! I've had a lot of fun with it, personally!
What this build is about:
- Making reactionary plays more viable
- Defending your team against heavy hitters
- Ruining a flank
What this build IS NOT about:
- Being able to 1v5
- Seriously. You're a Support. Elims should never be your primary goal. Help your fellow Support with heals when you can, and save your Kunai for when it's needed.
Survival??
There are times when you need to spec into Survival because 9/10 times there's going to be a that one guy making your life hell. I've put together a list of my favorite Survival items and what I personally use them for! Reference this if you find yourself needing to replace any items in this build to better guarantee your survival!
- [Martian Mender], you cannot go wrong with more Cooldown Reduction and a constant influx of health. Take this if you need a little help regaining health fast.
- [Nebula Conduit], is a good general Survival item. Take this for just a little extra assurance against some of the more heavy hitting abilities in the game.
- [Ogundimu Reduction Field], if you are up against a sustained damage hero such as [Soldier: 76] or [Moira].
- [Divine Intervention], if you are up against a burst damage hero such as [Junkrat] or an Ability Power [Juno].
At the end of the day, this build was made with having fun while doing all you can to help your team get those dubs. If there are any questions or concerns I'd love to hear them! I'm not the biggest expert on the numbers side of things so if any of the items I have picked out don't quite make sense please point them out to me!
Thank you for considering this build! I hope y'all have as much fun with it as I do!.

Round Notes
I prefer to open with a boost to Ability Power to give Suzu a nice early buff before we commit to Weapon Power a little later in the build. We're starting with [Weapon Grease] and [Power Playbook].
Take [Armored Vest] against Weapon Power. Take [First Aid Kit] against Ability Power.
Playstyle:
This build requires you to be a reactionary and defensive Support. This early, however, you're going to play as a normal Kiriko. You're not able to shut down plays at this stage so be mindful of your cooldowns, help with heals. Use your Suzu when an ally or yourself get below half health, or save it to cancel [Ashe] burn or [Junker Queen] wounds.
